Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- There's little doubt that Abuja, Nigeria, and Cape Town, South Africa, stand out among African cities when it comes to city planning, development, and organization. Other attractive and well-planned towns in Africa are Nairobi and Addis Ababa, to name a few.
However, for this video, we will use these four different metrics for comparing Abuja and Cape Town. Infrastructure, geography, tourism, and cost of living. We would consider the overall beauty of these cities too.

These are two BEST African cities on the continent with many great things in 2022.I am rooting for Cape Town, South Africa in this video 2022!
To me it sounds like they market Nigeria by South Africa
After this video, I now realize how different South Africa is to African countries. It's quality 👌
Thank you to the white people
Abuja for the mindset.. Nigerians are amazing.. Love you 💞
True amazingly stupid and fraudulent
Come you compare CPT with village
I prefer Cape Town in South Africa 🇿🇦. Because it has lots of Torrist attractions to see. Abuja is OK. But when it comes to Torisim.....South Africa is always on top.
Thank 😊.
Thank you for showing us how Abuja looks like I would like to visit the city looking great 🇿🇦💞

Hello
Abuja is a coming up city, less than 40 years of development, but is well plan
Sandton city had two buildings 40 years ago but you cant even put Abuja next to sandton city
@@thabisomaila8095 I'm not sure this comparison makes sense. Sandton city is actually a district in Johannesburg Metroplex and you're comparing with an entire Metroplex of its own.
We all know that South Africa cities such as Cape town, Johannesburg (certain parts not all), Durban and Pretoria are all great places. Thanks to the very obvious presence of Westerners in the country since Colonial times.
But comparing a district of a city with another. I'm not sure that's right. But if you will, then I think canary wharf in London is nicer than any South African city structurally. And Malibu CA blows all of Africa totally
Wtf😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Very true but as you walk around the city there is a lack of toilets, and Nigerians tend to defecate behind corners when there are no public toilets so be careful where you walk.

Definitely acurate comparison. I'm familiar with the differences between these 2 countries, and I approve these messages
In addition, Abuja's development just started in the 80s like you mentioned. If you observed well, you would have also noticed that massive construction work is ongoing daily in Abuja. So bear in mind that Abuja is still under construction, by the time the master plan is well accomplished, it may outclass Cape town.

It definitely will
Lol this is pure lie if Nigerians can't stay in Nigeria what will make them change the way they think you are led by selfish people

Abuja is not a bad city but you really cannot compare it to the most beautiful city in Africa...maybe Cairo would have try to match the standard my opinion though
Cape Town blows European countries out of the water… I have been there so many times but every time I go it still manages to blow my mind, the natural beauty is second to none and the infrastructure is world class

@@rubinortiz2311 Haha that was a good joke
Abuja has one of the most advanced, most developed, and most sophisticated road networks not only in Nigeria but in Africa. The fact that there is traffic congestion doesn't mean the city doesn't have standard road network or infrastructure. The reason for the traffic congestion is because Abuja has so many cars. You can see that all the roads leading to and out of the city centre are around eight to ten lanes with many flyovers which are of high standard any where in the world, yet there is traffic congestion. And the traffic congestion doesn't occur always. It usually occurs in the mornings and evenings when people are going to work in the city centre and returning from work respectively. The reason is because Abuja has so many cars that's why in spite of the metro train transport system within the city one still observes traffic congestion within the afore mentioned periods. The same goes for the city of Lagos. These two cities are places where the population of cars compete with human population.
Having an advanced road network isn't always necessarily a good thing. A city that is too car-oriented tends to lack culture and substance. Abuja should be focusing on public transportation if it wants to be a considered a world class city.

My Analysis Of Abuja Vs Cape Town
1. Road Network = 50/50
2. Railways = Abuja leads slightly here. It has light train within the city and even SGR connecting to other cities. Cape Town doesnt have light trains
3. Luxurious Mansions = 50/50
4. High Rise/Skyscrapers = Cape Town leads here.
Airport = 50/50 .... debatable
Landscaping/Greenery = 50/50 ... debatable
Dream on brother, dream on.
Mansions The whole Nigeria even roads or Airports can't even come close
Sorry dude 🤷♂️. No matter how you break it down Cape Town still wins. Cape Town blows most European cities out of the water
You sef tell yourself the truth😂.
No comparison. Cape Town is the better and more beautiful city.
Cape town over 200 years old built with blood money. Abuja simply built by Nigerians from their earnings.

The issue with Nigerian cities and some others around Western Africa is the high rate of rural urban drift Which oftentimes outpaces pace of infrastructural development before different districts become habited. So you end up with a situation where there's a big gap in quality of development between affluent areas, middle class Neighbourhoods and low income homes. this you'll find in just about every city including national Capitals across West, central and east Africa

Nigerians Did Nothing By Themselves,They Stole Alot From So Many ,That's Why They Are Named Scam Artist
What about the Crime Rate?
Is it necessary to compare African cities?
Yes use your brain. Oh wait maybe you can't 😢
Am a Nigerian but Cape Town is way ahead of Abuja in terms of everything, however, Abuja is right up there let's not forget that its a relatively young city
Abuja is more beautiful
Wake up you dreaming, your country will get there, just continue dreaming, for now bow down to Cape Town boy... UBUNTU BETHU...
You're high
You Nigerians are known for comedy. Let's keep it that way
Abuja needs more grassn greenery and flowers ... it should by a leaf from PortHarcourt !!
Abuja actually has more green spaces than Port Harcourt or any other city in Nigeria.
Each district has a series of gardens and dedicated green spaces (different from undeveloped plots that look like greenery in other Nigerian cities).
Though I'd praise Port Harcourt for the Port Harcourt pleasure park. This one is a really solid addition to the city and I hope another similar development can be setup on Azikiwe road and eastern bypass
No any city in Nigeria is Greener than Abuja . I hope u have been to Abuja before?
@@mrvibe1570 Calabar is greener than Abuja
@@gilly8087 weather play a role bro, but during raining seasons no city in Nigeria have the half of Abuja grenery
Abuja needs a proper public transportation system like a subway or metro.
Look, there's no comparison between Cape Town (South Africa) with Abuja (Nigeria) because, Cape Town has been there forever, and should be better than what it is today than Abuja that had just started in late 80's. Remember that the capital city of Nigeria was moved from Lagos state to Abuja, and Cape Town was not moved from any where. As the capital city, the British settled in cape Town and made it what it is today, whereas, Abuja was a mess, and where Hausa people settled with there goats, cows and many other livestock. Again, Nigeria has faced severe economic barter due to the leaders looting and stealing the country's finances for ages, and you don't expect a country with such history to do well, but Nigeria is doing great, regardless of all the short comings. They just need great and serious minded leaders who fights for the people and the country like we have here in the United States Of America.
Well if your politicians and Europeans stopped interfering by sponsoring terrorised it would be a little easier
Up and above that, Nigerians should realize karma is a b..... what most of their countrymen do to other people would affect them negatively, one way or the other.
@@nokweyisangqungwana3103 can you elaborate on that statement? I'm not a Nigerian, I'm a US Citizen, but history shows that Nigerian leaders, both previous and present have engaged in looting and stealing billions of dollars and naira from Nigeria for ages. Based on statistics in 2007 during Obasanjo regime, Nigeria was estimated to almost equal to America 🇺🇸 in economy greatness, and urban development, but since Buhari took office, that estimate flew throw the window. Nigeria is heavily blessed with GOD'S natural given resources, but has greatly been mismanaged by your leaders who selfish, evil and mentally poor.
@@nokweyisangqungwana3103 what has your senseless ignorant comment to do with "comparison" video between "Abuja and Capetown".? What did Nigeria do to people? Can you be more specific? I'm not a Nigerian, I'm a US citizen, and I know a lot about Africa and it's countries. When another African like you starts sounding very foolish about other countries, it gets my attention. You like you a lot animosity about Nigeria, therefore, spit it out let's hear it, and please, you better have credible proof.
@@enoch4619 first thing first, learn to speak better English, and how to spell before coming on social media
These cities aren't in the same category to appropriately be compared
It's a mismatch. You cannot compare Abuja to Cape Town. Cape Town is in a different class.
Abuja is 100× behind south Africa
I'm a South African, who has never been to Nigerian. I think Abuja should've won the 4th round. CPT ya tura maan
Na, cape town stomps Abuja 🤣🤣
Cape town of course.
There is no comparison
Even we black men we are who we are.
Clearly this is an unfair comparison
Abuja is 💯 owns by the Nigerians and developing by black . Why Cape town is 90% owns by the white. do I go for Abuja the first class citizen City.
But the whites are South Africans born bred so why do you have to high light the race issue 🤔 The reason why South Africa is a rainbow nation and the most diverse in Africa
@@mkza2280 am not high lighting the race issues. The issues is the exonophobic attack by our fellow south Africans black . white are never a problem . but black killing thir fellow black for taking over their businesses is really disheartening and disturbing. I have never been to south African. but u can watch the video for real.
@@mrvibe1570 I hear you but I was responding to what you said previously about Cape Town being owned by 90% White which is different altogether to what you're saying now I personally don't want to dwell in the so called Xenophobia cos there's a lot of underlying issues that are being ignored of which they're the core pathophysiology.
@@mkza2280 in any fire there most be a smoke. My point is obvious.
@@mrvibe1570 Yes there's a lot to be done and looked at by both parties to combat this issue of cause .
Just go Google best cities in the WORLD and you will find your answer
You people's don't know about city the best is italian city
U can't compare capetown with nigeria..
Abuja is just a new city established in 1990. Abuja is not completed, development still ongoing. So this comparison is not appropriate.
There shouldn't be a comparison here in the first place. You are comparing elephant and rat😂
Abuja only
This is not right Nigerians will soon flock to Cape town stop this let us always put Nigeria first then they will stay home.
this is so funny, i cant stop loughing.
I think this presenter doesnt know how to do comparison. Cape Town is centuries older than Abuja. Abuja is just 30+ yrs. It's young even amongst Nigeria's cities, it's just because of the money being pumped into it because they want make it the Capital Territory overnight. Even in wrestling you consider the years of building. So don't compare 2 incomparable cities
If you really want to compare start with py, how many south Africans who are refugee in Nigeria and how many Nigerians who are refugee here in south Africa, it's like you compare Malawi and united states'.
Don't forget that Abuja is not up to 40 years so comparison is not supposed
Capetown is by far the best in terms developmnt,Nigeria presents overcrowding ,poverty corruption its not suitable for investmnt...
Cape Town is the California of Africa. I’m a Nigerian but Abuja is not yet in the same league with Cape Town
Why are you always comparing Accra to Lagos instead of Accra to cities like cape town or nairobi
Lol. Why?
Meaning Accra is finner than Lagos?
You stole this video. Seen it before 😳
@@vlogswithtydronlee8561 yes he did
I've seen it before too
Why must everything in Africa be a comparison? Why can't we just enjoy both lol
Abuja is a newly built city less than 50 years, Abuja will definitely bit Capetown, so it is a cheat comparing it to Capetown. you would have been neutral if you compared Lagos to Capetown.
Lagos out of all places. Have you been to cape town. I have been to Lagos, with all due respect, Nigerians will also tell you Lagos needs a serious overhaul before it even compete with Nairobi.
So Capetown will be sitting there waiting for Abuja? Capetown will always be Africa's number one best city for years to come there are many projects to be built in Cape town in the future
lets make things easier then in terms of age , lets compare abuja with sandton since they are both fairly new cities 😉
Lagos wouldn't fair better against Cape town. Honestly Abuja is Nigeria's best bet to compare to Cape town.
I think within Africa, Cape town stands out
bit capetown, how can a city cheat ?what kind of English is this.
Abuja is better than Cape Town .
What makes you say so
@@TheNewTourist Abuja is better lol
Cape Town is better.
I am Nigeria.
Lie
@@TheNewTourist Abuja is well built with very beautiful wide roads and very beautiful well led out suburbs ,, that's why I think.abuja is better .
Why not compere Lagos to Cape Town why abuja?
Abuja is way better planned
After you compare our city🇿🇦💪 with that poorest country in the world🇳🇬what will be your achievement.
I don't think any Nigerian city has a better road network than Abuja....
Yes they are cities, bro u can only say abuja has more standard road but not road network, in terms of road network calabar is Even better that was y the white colonial masters choose it as there city then, uyo also has good road network than ABJ take fr instance there's this popular road in uyo that links the whole villages in uyo
I don't think any Nigerian city has better road network than any South African city tbh.
@@hopebuhali3887 I don't know much about SA's road network. I'd think Abuja and Lagos might. You should try visiting Tembisa where the white people did not settle and let us know.
@@fistandpen2505 It's not a case of just thinking, it's about facts, do some research. All of South Africa's major cities have world class road infrastructure, the best in Africa. The "Whites built SA" card is null and void because SA, in terms of infrastructure and development, has significantly improved since 1994, Lead by an All Black government, again, Its pure facts, do some research.
Lol you mentioned Tembisa, Tembisa is a township, like every other township in SA, it was CREATED BY WHITE PEOPLE in Apartheid for the purpose of racially isolating black people away from whites, the same way white people in USA created townships for African Americans during the Jim Crow period. If you visit any township, whether in SA or USA, you'll realise there's good road and transport infrastructure, water and electricity infrastructure that most parts of Africa don't have, despite the poverty.
@@hopebuhali3887 lol believe whatever you want to believe champ 👍
The audacity
What do you mean by this? 🤣
fool
If my comment automatically gives you and indication of why i said it... It makes what i said real you even see it without me saying it
@@clueless365 i lived in Capetown for 5 years.... Not even a single South African city comes close, JHB is a dump compared to Capetown, i grew up in Pretoria... My 1st job was in JHB... After i got to Capetown felt like i left SA
@@jyde50 i admire your National pride... But thatd the reason other African cities are leaving you behind, you fail to critique in the name of National pride...
Abuja is a village compared to capetown
You came up to tell us Abuja is not as good as Capetown. Bye.
